An Empty Table

List of good reasons to believe that the Earth is flat

An Empty Table is a table that has been drawn, but that has no content filled in.

The properties of the empty table include height, width, number of rows, columns and styling. However, empty tables generally have no titles, since a title would depend on the content.

Empty tables are extremely popular among people who need to make a table on a subject that they are ignorant about. An empty table is also great as a listing of ideas that you still did not think of.

J. N. Spoilsport argues that empty tables may be breeding grounds for offensive content, since theoretically anyone can write anything in them. Mr. Porridge counters that a given table limits the amount of content it can hold, therefore, you cannot write anything.

“It is clear that if you have a small empty table, you cannot write a novel in it. This is fairly obvious. I have no idea how someone can think otherwise,” - Mr. Porridge says.

The Cave forum post in 2016 has commented on this by launching a project that would allow an Excel table to hold compressed text. That way, Mr. Porridge would be proven false.

Dan Dindridge has commented on the whole exchange by pointing out that empty tables is something that “the public doesn't give a shit about”.
